1 G e n e r a l i n t r o d u c t i o n ab o u t e s c a l a t o r s
E s c a lator is a kind of i nclined circulating running and elect r i cally
d r i v en device which transmits passengers up and down.
Its main features:
a) strong transmitting capacity, uniform passenger transmit flow ;
b) up or down running ;
c) When power off or malfunction, it can be used as normal pass way, not
affecting the transportation between floors ;
d) Widely used in all kinds of public place like commercial supermarkets,
stations, port, airport, or shopping center, etc ;
1.1 There are five types of layout of escalators, see pic 1
a. Single arrangement;
b. Single continuous;
c. Single overlap;
Drawing 1 escalator layout d. Parallel arrangement;
e. Cross layout
1) A is single layout as transmit between two floors;
2) B is s i n g l e c o n t i n u o u s type: this layout only is used in single direction transmit,
as transmit between three floors. After passengers enter the first escalator, then
directly enter the second escalator and the escalator will continuously run;
3) C is single overlap. After passengers enter the first escalator, they can’t enter
the second escalator and the escalator continuously run;
4) D is p a r a l l e l a r r a n g e m e n t . It is used in the heavy passenger flow. Two escalators
can run in the same direction or opposite direction, or several units run
paralleled.
5) E is cross layout type. It is used in two direction running to reduce operation
time
6) According to status of passenger flow, it can be multi layout type to apply for
using requirements and prompt transportation efficiency.
1.2 Variety of escalators.
1) Two kinds of escalators: commercial type KLP, KLM and slim line type. It is
specially designed for indoor, commercial supermarkets, airport, office building
to transmit passengers between two floors. Usually, it has advantages of heavy
passenger flow, compact structure, beautiful line, etc.
2) KLT public transportation escalator, is mainly used in occasion like subway
23 / 40
station, station, port, airport, supermarket, etc. Its operation time is over 140
hours a week in heavy passenger flow occasion.
3) KLT outdoor escalator with anti-water function, can run normally under the
temperature from -20°— 40°C, used in occasion of subway station entrance and
exit and sky bridge, etc.

2.1 Escalator up and down structure (drive system), see chart 2, also called up machine
room.
Up part is the main structure of the escalator. Controller 1 is installed in the
up part with soft wire connection. In maintenance, it can be taken out easily. Drive
structure 2 runs through drive chain3 driving axel 4. The main axis is equipped with
handrail drive chain 5 and step chain roller 10, 6 is handrail supporting device to
make handrail 7 have enough pressure on the friction roller 11 to easily drive. The
24 / 40
step roller 8 has step 9 and drive by step chain roller 10.
2.2 Escalator down part structure, see pic 3
1) Escalator down part structure is also called down machine room. Its function is
guiding direction and step chain tension. 1 is handrail `180 directive guide rail
to reduce friction resistance. The directive guide rail is made of one directive
chain. The chain roller is a plastic roller with bearings. 2 is inspection switch
and its buttons can easily complete all operation actions of escalators. In the
plug contact place has interlock device. Once it is plugged in, other controlling
device will act to assure the passengers safety when installation and inspection.
4 is step chain tension cart, and can be adjusted in installation and inspection.
The tension of chain can be assured by spring 3 and adjusted by nut.
2 ) Step chain 8 is connected with main axis step chain roller and drive the step.
The step chain is tensioned by pressing spring 3. When step chain is overlong or
over short due to friction, forward or backward move switch plate and the escalator
will stop running after contacting switches.

6) When its rise is over 6m, the auxiliary brake should be added apart from the normally
installed brake, see Pic 6, Pic 7 is absolutely necessary. Pic 6 is added only
when rise is over 6m.
a) When the auxiliary is in not active status, the claw 1 is closed under the spring
force. When the speed is over some figure, the monitoring device will send
signals and then the electrical magnet will act. Then through the action of
electric magnet 5, the claw will open and meanwhile, the bending part 6 on the
stick will drive switch 3 act to stop escalators. So it will be assure the safety
of passengers, especially when full load status, its function will be more
important.
b) When escalators are in transportation or long time no used, one mechanical lock
device(see pic 7) is set to assure the safety. The fix hole on the fly wheel
1, when no use, the lock stick 3 will insert into the fly wheel hole while insert
into the fix board 4 under working condition.

7) The escalators all adopt double drive chain. It will be very dangerous when it
breaks, so it is important to set drive chain broken protection device, see pic
8. When the chain works normally, the contact 4 on the bearer 1 will always connect
with drive chain 5. When the chain is broken, contact will fall down, then the
angle part 2 will contact switch 3, the escalator will stop.
2.4 Step pallet, see pic 9.
The step has two kinds: die-cast aluminum step and stainless steel step. Step surface
and front board have delicate gullet to anti-slide and direct the front and back steps.
Side directive board 3 is made of plastic and connects with skirting panel to make
the step justify the center line. When the side directive board wearing reaches 1.2mm,
it needs changing.

Drawing 9 step
3) The step chain transports the step and its upward loads while the step moves
parallel with the skirting panel, so there are high requirements not only on the
hardness of two step chains, but also length allowance. So, apart from adopting
high-precision processing, selective methods are also adopted to fasten and adjust
27 / 40
in using. When the pitch lengthens 3% after using, it needs changing to prevent
chain roller from broken.
2.6 The meshing and protection of comb board and step.
1) In order to prevent goods stuck between the active parts and inactive parts, one
comb board is set in the front of the comb with screw fastened on the board. The
comb board is made of plastic or aluminum and its replacement is very easy. The
teeth pat connects with the groove in the step surface. Even passenger feet or
goods stay stable on the step, they will smoothly move onto the comb board.
2) When the step passes the comb and meshes with the comb board, the meshing depth
of the comb board and step surface should be over 6mm. When step comb grooves
mesh with the comb, the gap between the step surface and comb root should less
than 4mm.
3) When the step runs, operators should check that every step needs meshing with
the comb while passes through. The comb should be in the middle of the step groove
to prevent from friction.
4) In order to prevent step from destroying caused by strange goods stuck in the
comb, comb strange good protection contact is also set. When the passengers’
umbrella spire or shoes high-heel or other goods struck into the step and mesh
with the comb, the comb board will be pushed by the step and move accordingly
to contact the safety switch to stop escalator.
5) The step is moving parting for transporting passengers. When it is broken, it
will be very dangerous. So the step sagging contact is set in the up and down
part of escalators. When the step breaks and sags, the switch will be contacted
and makes the escalator stop.
2.7 Handrail device.
1) Handrail device is set in the both sides of the escalator to protect and decorate
the balustrade. The balustrade is usually made of tempered glass, also can be made
of other material.
2) Handrail is made of rubber, nylon and steel. Nylon connects with handrail guide
rail to guide. The steel inside the handrail bears force. The handrail color is
selective, but the standard color is black.
3) Handrail guide rail adopts roll steel material with galvanized process on its
surface. If special requirements (slime line type), it can be made of stainless
steel.
4) Handrail supporting parts adopts aluminum oxygenated processing or use stainless
steel.
5) Inner, outside decking, skirting panel back side use stainless steel material or
use SS400 board painted surface process. In order to prevent goods stuck between
the skirting panel that affects the escalator running, one micro-push switch is
set behind the skirting panel. Once the skirting panel deforms, the micro contact
will active and stop the escalator.
6) Some occasions require handrail lighting, then only needs to change the handrail
supporting parts forms. The light is installed in the inside and covered by
transparent plastic.
7) Handrail is driven by the friction wheel of the handrail drive system. The tightness
is achieved by adjusting parts and pressure.
8) Handrail entrance contacts are set in both sides of the handrail to prevent
children’s finger or foreign matter stuck in it.
28 / 40
9) When the handrail runs normally, its speed should synchronize with the step running
speed, the deviation allowed is 0—+2%. Handrail broken contact is set under the
handrail down part. If handrail beaks, the micro-pushed switch will be contacted
to stop escalator.
3 Safe operation and use of escalators
3.1 Before using escalators, make sure that all parts works normally.
3.2 Handrail should be operated by trained workers and the starting should be in no-load
status.
3.3 When landing on the escalator, passengers should face the running direction and stand
in the yellow frame and hold the handrail..
3.4 When children land on the escalator, adults should hold them.
3.5 When passengers with pet land on the escalator, they should put the pet in their arms.
3.6 Bare-footed passengers or with heavy goods are not allowed to land on the escalator.
3.7 After operators start the escalator by power switch, if the escalator can’t run,
operators should notice the maintainers in time to check whether the power switch,
the main switch on the controller and maintenance control switch is on or not.
3.8 If the escalator still can not start, then operators should check whether the four
handrail entrance contact or other safety contacts are off or not.
3.9 If needs to change the escalator operation direction, the operator can change the
direction only after the escalator stops completely and no passengers land on it.
3.10 If in urgent occasion, people can push the emergency stop button to stop the
escalator.
4 Management of escalators
4.1 Only licensed maintainers can enter the up and down part of the escalator.
4.2 Make sure the up and down part of the escalator dry.
4.3 Cut off the power switch if long time no use escalator.
4.4 There are some requirements about operating the escalator: First, the escalator can
be operated only after checked and accepted by relative authority; Second,
operation license is provided; The escalator is maintained by maintenance unit
with license.
5 S e rious effect after escalator happens serious errors
5.1 After earthquake, light earthquake will not have much effect on escalators, but it
can make escalator horizontal move or incline in the horizontal level, or some
wire broken, etc. If starts the escalator at this time, it may cause accidents,
so it can be only used after repair.
5.2 When fire happens, the power should be cut off immediately, stop the escalator and
lead passengers to safe place.
5 . 3 When flood happens or machine room sunk with water after the above four situation,
the escalator can only be used after strictly checked and repaired by relative
people.

7.3 Explanation
1) Comfort and vibration in movement.
a) Brake incompletely loose or completely loosens, but brake belt inclines, and
friction exists between brake belt and brake wheel, then it easily cause impact.
b) After step chain lengthens, deviation becomes in the pitch, then the step will
inclines and friction with the skirting panel.
c) The step roller is not round enough or bearing is destroyed.
d) The step can not passes through smoothly when in direction part, or the gap
between direction wall and wheel is overlarge.
2) Drive motor and inspection.
a) After long time using scroll wheel sub or gear wheel sub, the wearing will cause
gear size gap larges or bearing wearing will make escalator vibrate or make
33 / 40
noise. Then the scroll wheel gear size gap, adjustable pad thickness in the
bearing place, bearing should be adjusted to reduce impact noise.
b) Keep the lubrication oil in controller clean and good nature, or replace it
in time and check often the oil height to keep oil level in the specified scale.
Recommended oil: No. 120industial gear oil.
c) Keep the gear cover and box closely connect to prevent oil sinking.
d) Add ZL45-2 airline lubrication grease one time every month to the rolling
bearings in the scroll wheel axis, we will call it lithium base grease.
e) On the common occasion, replace reducer lubrication grease once a year. Check
often if there is impurity in the reducer oil in the newly installed escalator
with half a year. If yes, please clean and replace immediately.
f) Under the common condition, the temperature of machinery parts and bearing
should less than 80K.
g) When the active bearing produces uneven noise or impact noise, it should be
replaced in time.
h) Replace the shock reduce pad in the linkage axis every two years. Replace the
shock rubber pad when adjust motor if necessary.
3) Brake.
a) When braking, the brake belt should connect on the surface of braking wheel.
When losing brake, the brake belt should leave braking wheel surface and its
gap is less than 0.7mm and its contact surface is smooth.
b) The action is flexible and reliable with its brake motor wire loop increasing
temperature not over than 60K.
c) Make sure that the brake motor connection base has no loose phenomenon and have
good insulation.
d) Pin roll should be very flexible and can be lubricated by machine oil ( When
adding oil, if the oil spatters on the machine wheel work surface, it should
be cleaned.).
e) Keep the cleanness of the brake belt and make sure that there is no oil or paint.
The screw of fix brake belt should be inserted into the brake belt and not
allowed its contact with brake wheel. It should be replace immediately if the
brake belt wears so much that the screw head comes out or the wornness is over
one quarter of brake belt thickness.
f) Under the condition of safety and reliability, adjust the brake spring to meet
the brake distance of escalator.
4) Motor.
a) Motor is connected by flange with reducer. Its connection should be kept
fastened to assure the coaxial tolerance of gear axis and motor.
b) The temperature of motor bearings should be lower than 80K.
c) Due to bearing wornness, the air gap between stator and rotor is not evenly
positioned which causes noise. In this situation, the bearing should be
replaced.
d) The value of lithium grease added into the rolling bearing should be the 2/3
volume of bearing room. After working 2500~3000hours, new lubrication grease
should be added.
5) Drive system check (escalator up and down structure).
a) Drive axis is driven by motor through two-row drive chain. During the using,
if the axis lengthens which causes noise, then adjust jaw on the motor base
34 / 40
to fasten the drive two-row chain. The fastening extent is good if the droop
of drive two-row chain is not over 15mm.
b) Every month, lithium grease should be added into the drive axis rolling
bearings.
c) The chain board of escalator chain and big chain wheel should be lubricated
enough.
d) After long time use of step chain, the pitch will lengthen to produce deviation
which will cause the unstableness of escalator operation and the friction of
step two side to the skirting board. If the step chain pitch deviation is
overlarge, it should be replaced.
e) Every month, lithium grease should be added into the tension wheel main axis
rolling bearings.
6) Step guide rail.
Step guide rail is made of cold-rolled section. It has up and down curve guide
and middle straight guide rail. Two sides curve guide rail continues with the
directive panel to make step side wheel diversely pass in the directive panel.
So, every month, the guide rail surface and step roller directly friction surface
should be lubricated.
7) Step.
a) Step is a circulating part which runs along step guide rail. It will mesh with
the comb board before direction. After entering meshing period, if foreign body
is stuck, the step plastic decoration will be easily destroyed. In this
situation, please replace the plastic decoration immediately.
b) The two sides of step is installed in the nylon directive block and the side
gap to skirting panel is 0.50mm. It is allowed to directly friction with the
skirting panel, but the nylon directive block will easily worn, when the
wornness is over 1.2mm, please replace immediately.
c) When step runs along the guide rail, four rollers closely touch the guide rail
surface. After long time using, the step deforms, as long as one of the four
rollers does not touch the guide rail surface, the step surface perpetually
deforms, then the step should be replaced immediately.
8) Handrail.
a) Handrail is driven by friction wheel. There are many rollers in every section
which easily causes wornness. The retained rubber chipping will affect the
normal operation of other parts.
b) If the handrail over lengthens after long time using and it can not be adjusted
by tension device and the synchronize speed with the step can not reach in 0~2%,
in this situation, the handrail should be replaced.
9) Safety contacts should be safe, reliable and effective. Every year, all the safe
contacts should be checked. If detecting one safety contact fails its function,
then replace the contact immediately to make sure that every safety contact is
at its normal working condition.
10) Automatic lubrication device.
a) The automatic lubrication device can be added if the user indicates when placing
an order.
b) The automatic lubrication is a kind of piston pump driven by micro-motor. The
oil will be allocated by proportion to every lubrication point by measuring
device and the oil adding volume can be adjusted within the scope of 0.2~5 ml.
35 / 40
c) The oil adding volume needs to be adjusted according to lubrication need. The
adjustment method, please refer to random oil pump manual and it will be
operated according to different motor lubrication pump to reach reasonable oil
adding effectiveness.
d) The clean lubrication oil should be used.
e) Every half year, clean the storing tank and clean or replace the blanketing
and filter gauze. If oil pollution is found, clean the oil pump and replace
oil immediately.
f) Routinely check the lubrication system to make sure that no oil leaking, no
breakage in oil pipe and no loose in the connection. If found any destroyed
parts, please replace immediately. When fasten the accessories, please operate
properly.
g) Routinely check the lubrication system to make sure that no oil leaking, no
breakage in oil pipe and no loose in the connection. If found any destroyed
parts, please replace immediately. When fasten the accessories, please operate
properly.
h) Keep the oil pipe unblocked and the oil brush clean. If the oil brush dried,
continuously use after cleaned by coal oil.
i) Passenger conveyors with automatic lubrication device, oil tank should be set
in the truss bottom(under two step chain) to the oil box in the down part of
passenger conveyor.
